Introducing Specification Using Z
Offering an introduction to formal specification using the Z notation, this practical text makes use of a series of case studies, of varying complexity, to illustrate the construction of good specifications in Z. These case studies serve to describe the most frequently used features of Z, the relevant discrete mathematics and the various techniques used. The text also includes an introduction to specification validation, theorem proving and refinement. The importance of formal methods within software engineering is stressed throughout and there are a large number of exercises with solutions.
Using Z
This book contains enough mnaterial for three complete courses of study. It provides an introduction to the world of logic, sets and relations. It explains the use of the Znotation in the specification of realistic systems. It shows how Z specifications may be refined to produce executable code; this is demonstrated in a selection of case studies. The essentials of specification, refinement and proof are covered, revealing techniques never previously published. Exercises, Solutions and set of Tranparencies are available via http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/usingz.html
The Object-Z Specification Language
Author: Graeme Smith

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2012-12-06
Object-Z is an object-oriented extension of the formal specification language Z. It adds to Z notions of classes and objects, and inheritance and polymorphism. By extending Z's semantic basis, it enables the specification of systems as collections of independent objects in which self and mutual referencing are possible. The Object-Z Specification Language presents a comprehensive description of Object-Z including discussions of semantic issues, definitions of all language constructs, type rules and other rules of usage, specification guidelines, and a full concrete syntax. It will enable you to confidently construct Object-Z specifications and is intended as a reference manual to keep by your side as you use and learn to use Object-Z. The Object-Z Specification Language is suitable as a textbook or as a secondary text for a graduate-level course, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.
